Bukhara catered our daughters wedding at the Venetian recently. We recieved RAVE reviews on the food such as ' Excellent; Never to be forgotten". when was the last time you went to a wedding where people talked about how great the food was? Raja - Bukhara partner EXCELLED in customer service, listened with patience and treated our wedding as his very own daughters wedding. If you are in for excellence in food quality, service & price they truly are the ONLY game in town. They made my daughters wedding. We are indebted to them. -

The one thing people still talk about from our wedding is the food! An amazing variety, unparalleled quality. Not just as simple as Indian food either. They do so many different kind of cuisines and it made our event incredible. The service was perfect: on time courteous, easy to work with, responsive. I couldn't have dreamed of a better caterer -

The word AMAZING is quite the understatement. Your wedding is only as good as the food that's served and Bukhara Grill is hands down, the best Indian restaurant and catering company out there. If you live in the tri-state area, you're even more lucky as you can even frequent their restaurant which is conveniently tucked away on 49th Street.
My main contact was Raja Jhanjee and from the instant we met, till present day, we had/have an amazing relationship. Like most brides & grooms, my fiancé (at the time) and I questioned everything - and trust was a big issue. Raja calmed our nerves, was super helpful with all of his suggestions and promised me that he himself would attend our event to ensure everything ran smoothly. We met a couple of times at his restaurant in NY and he even accommodated another tasting with our big family, which was a plus for us as it helped everyone on both sides feel involved. He was patient and kind and did I mention patient? We're so lucky to have had Bukhara Grill cater as the food, till this day, is the main thing people rant and rave about regarding our wedding. He made our wedding event extraordinary with delightful offerings from apps to dessert - everyone left full and satisfied - not to mention, happy.
If I could rewind the hands in time and I'd go back to our wedding day so I could work with the most pleasant vendor. But with his new endeavor minutes away from my parents house in NJ, I’m sure I will be experiencing Bukhara Grill delights time and time again in the near future.
If you're looking for the best of the best indian caterer, look no further.
Raja and Bukhara - I simply cannot thank you enough. -

Bukhara grill was the caterer for 5 of my wedding events and I could NOT be happier. The food was on point for every single event and all of our guests were very happy! I didn't hear a single complaint from anyone. Both my husband and I were able to eat at our reception and we loved everything that we had. The entire Bukhara team is incredible to work with and they truly know how to appease to so many different palates. -

For the team of Bukhara Grill!
Thank you so much for the delicious food, beautiful presentation and the wonderful service for our reception dinner. You and your team surpassed all of our expectations and our guests still rave about the food. Our only disappointment was not getting to eat more of the delicious food. Since we started planning our wedding, we knew we didn’t even want to look for other caterers. Bukhara has been our favorite since our first visit to your restaurant. The servers were very attentive to the needs of the guests, friendly, and very professional. The food was delicious and we got numerous compliments from all our guests. Thank you so much for working hard to make our wedding a success. We would recommend Bukhara Grill to everyone looking for a delicious and elegant meal for their wedding. -

Outstanding in every way
Buhkara Grill Caterers did the food for our wedding weekend in August 2023. The entire team was outstanding, starting with Akshay. We wanted Friday to be all Indian food, and Saturday to be an assortment of different cuisines, and they knocked it out of the park. Everyone was raving about the food on both nights, and it was just as good as the tasting we had done. The professionalism of the staff, the flexibility of the team, and the overall experience was fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough! -

Amazing amazing amazing
My husband and I chose Bukhara Grill as our caterer for two events-mehndi and reception. From the first meeting with Raja, we knew that we needed to look no further. The service that Raja and his team provided for both my events were impeccable!
Now getting down to business with the food...
We worked with Raja to customize our menu to Bengali guests. Both events had completely different menus with Raja’s help. Some of the items were new to us but we took a chance in adding it to the menu and it was the best decision we could’ve made! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was. The Kacchi biriyani and Beef bhuna which are Bengali staples, were a super duper hit!
Bukhara Grill is on the pricey side compared to others, however, you get what you pay for. From the service to the food, every penny is worth it!! They are top notch without a doubt and they will wow the hell out of your guests for sure!!! -

We worked with Bukhara Grill two times, for both my own and my brothers wedding. Both wedding receptions were over 500 people and the food, service and attention to detail was impeccable. You will not get better quality, a more creative menu and this level of attention to detail from any other vendor. Raja was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He not only helped us plan every detail from menu, to timing, to setup but he was at our event that night to make sure everything was perfect. The cocktail hour was incredible, dinner was delicious, and the viennese hour looked and tasted amazing. If you want a creative menu, fresh, delicious food and great service Bukhara Grill is the way to go. We used them for both of our family weddings and highly recommend them to others! -

The BEST caterer of Indian food. We dealt with Raja who was professional and courteous. The food was delicious and the service was great. The country club staff was full of praise as this was the first Indian wedding they had hosted. The guests too were full of praise.
If you are looking for an Indian caterer, look no further.
Thank you.

Bukhara Grill, Vicky
This past June, my husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Bukhara Grill cater our multicultural wedding, and we could not have been happier with the experience! From the very first conversation, Vicky and the team were professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful in planning the perfect menu for our big day.
The food was nothing short of spectacular! Every dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. Many of our guests had never tried Indian food before, and they were blown away by how much they loved it! The array of vegetarian dishes, especially the paneer makhi, vegetable biryani, and dal bukhara, were crowd favorites. The samosas, mango/strawberry lassi and freshly made naan were also a huge hit.
And the desserts – absolutely divine! The gulab jamun and khoya barfi were the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them.
Not only was the food outstanding, but the presentation and service were top-notch. The staff, under Vicky's guidance, was friendly, punctual, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors and made sure every guest was well taken care of.
We’re so grateful to Vicky and the entire Bukhara Grill team for making our wedding day unforgettable! If you’re looking for exceptional Indian food and a catering team you can count on, we highly recommend them! -

Highly Recommend Bukhara Grill in NYC
I usually don't like indian food but the food from Bukhara Grill in NYC is so delicious I keep going back for more! Vicky Vij was so easy to talk to for placing the order and provided wonderful recommendations. The food is so well packaged you don't have to worry about anything spilling! We were short on rice and Vicky was so quick to answer the phone and send us more rice and save the day. -

We had a wedding reception of 300 and this team delivered big time. We had bits and pieces of different styles of food from noodles to pasta as well as a full range of Indian items; each one was perfect . This team is thoughtful, their quality of food and service are unparalleled. There were some surprises for our guests like multiple live stations throughout the night and it was a huge hit. I even requested a special drink for each guest; they accommodated beautifully. Each guest was raving about the food. Look no further. -

Vicky and Bukhara did an excellent job catering our Sangeet and Wedding Reception. Vicky was an integral part of planning the menu for both events. The food turned out perfectly and the presentation was on point. We would highly recommend Vicky to anyone and we will definitely be using Bukhara in the future!
Everyone is still talking about the fresh Jalebi! :) -

You are in good hands with Bukkhara
We used Bukhara Grill as our caterer for a pre-wedding event, Vicky went above and beyond to create a unique menu for our events and was very responsive whenever we had a question.
Or family was happy we chose Bukhara and we got so many compliments from the guests regarding the food and we couldn't have asked for a more reliable caterer.
Forget the other name brand caterer's in the NJ/NY areas, they have failed on us, we now absolutely trust Bukhara for all of our event catering. -

Choose Bukhara – you will not go wrong!!
Right off the bat we can say choosing Bukhara to cater our wedding was the BEST (and easiest!) decision we made! To this day, our guests are still RAVING about the food! Vicky Vij was exceptional to work with from start to finish (by far one of our favorite vendors!!) and catered our every need (literally!) – he did an amazing job in helping us create a menu (for our Gujarati/Guyanese wedding) that pleased all (550+) of our guests! Not only did Vicky and his team go above and beyond on our wedding day, but he came in person and stayed the entire day to ensure everything went as we had discussed. He treated us like family and delivered on everything he promised and more! You WILL certainly get the BEST bang for your buck, service, and food (especially when compared to other top-tired caterers in the area) with Bukhara! To all future brides, grooms, and parents – choose Bukhara (and Vicky Vij!) to cater your wedding; you will not go wrong!! -

Outstanding in every manner!
We have had the pleasure of using Bukhara Grill for our daughter’s wedding functions and reception. The consistency and quality at each function was excellent.
All of our guests remarked as to how incredibly wonderful the food is.
We first came across Bukhara Grill, five years ago at a friends wedding reception. At that time we found the food to be exceptionally good and made note of the purveyor. Five years later, we used the same company after doing our diligence in taste testing, and found that nothing had changed in terms of quality and management of food.
All of these wonderful and sumptuous meals is as a testament to the owners (Raja Janaji) dedication towards ensuring a wonderful experience for the guests who shall be eating his food. He cares about his reputation, and it shows in every regard. Raja is very easy to deal with and has wonderful suggestions on menus to put together for your function.
An added bonus was the way the service stations and individual items were adapted to the venue. Artfully done and with courteous staff.
We have also used Bukhara Grill for parties as well since then and the same comments apply. We will definitely go back for more -

Catering events
We had Vicky for our wedding in 2022 and we had Vicky again for our pre and post wedding events in 2022 as well and we just had him again for our twins baby shower in 2024. When Vicky is catering your event one thing I would say is you don’t have to worry about anything. Process is so smooth and worry free. He is such a gentlemen and genuine in delivery for all your catering needs in the future!!!! Thank you Vicky!!!! -

Best of The Best!
Bukhara catered all of our wedding events (250/350/450 guests) and executed flawlessly. To this day, we still have guests comment on how amazing the food was at our wedding. Raja and his entire team provide a truly personalized experience, combined with the widest range of food options and truly one of a kind taste. -

Like most of the reviews state, Bukhara Grill was simply amazing! My cocktail hour/ reception had a guest count of 1200, and even with such a large number, Bukhara still delivered excellent service and food!
The cocktail hour food was such a huge hit at our wedding. We received hundreds of compliments regarding the food and the variety. Bukhara's expansive menu allowed us to have all types of cuisines and dishes featured. So many people told us they were too full from the cocktail hour to enjoy dinner! With such a large guest count, we were really worried that the food might run out or there wouldn't be enough of a popular dish. However, we had exactly the opposite happen. Bukhara provided so much food per dish (above the number we gave him) that nothing ran out and there was extra of everything at the end of the night. And even though Bukhara is a south-asian restaurant, the quality of their non-Indian dishes (italian, chinese, mediterranian) was extraordinary! Our guests ate and ate and ate.
The reception dinner was equally fantastic. People loved it. The dessert buffet was also extremely well done. The amount of items/ variety on that table was mind-blowing. Not just with indian desserts, but the non-Indian desserts were just as many and just as good.
The prices were very fair and nothing like you would expect from a Manhattan-based restaurant. Raja was such a pleasure to work with. He worked with us directly and was extremely accommodating even though he is the owner!! Out of all my vendors, Raja was probably the only one who would answer his cell phone on the first ring, AT ALL TIMES! He was very easy to work with and very hospitable when we came to visit him at his restaurant. He popped a bottle of champagne in our honor when we went to see him after the wedding. He's just an overall nice guy and I would definitely recommend Bukhara Grill in the future!!
Thank you so much for all our hard work and effort. You guys did such a great job---the amount of compliments we receive is a testament to how phenomenal your food was! -

Absolutely Amazing! Vickiji & Bukhara Grill were stars!
We recently hired Bukhara Grill, led by Vickiji, for our wedding, and the experience was truly flawless. Vickiji spent countless hours working with us and our families to curate a menu that catered to our guests’ dietary restrictions. With most of our guests coming from India and having high expectations for Indian cuisine, Bukhara Grill not only met those expectations but exceeded them. We received numerous compliments throughout the events, with guests raving about the food.
The spread was impeccable, looking as lavish as it tasted. Vickiji was actively involved during all the events, ensuring everything ran smoothly—it's rare to see an owner invest this much time and effort into delivering high-quality service.
Both the bride and her father have food allergies, and Vickiji accommodated almost all of their needs. He even created a separate Jain station, which was a hit with everyone. We are incredibly grateful for Vickiji and his team; no amount of praise can capture how amazing they were that weekend. We often joke that we wish we could have attended our own wedding just to enjoy the food!
Beyond providing an exceptional culinary experience, Vickiji partnered with ShareMyMeal, a charity that rescues leftover food for donation. This speaks volumes about his character and commitment to doing the right thing.
I highly recommend Bukhara Grill and Vickiji to anyone planning a wedding. If you’re looking for a hassle-free vendor who will exceed your expectations, look no further! -

UNBELIEVABLY amazing experience!
We are not exaggerating when we say Vicky and his team at Bukhara were world class in making our event exceptional. We had dozens of guests come up to us and comment on how the food was better in taste and presentation than any prior wedding they had been to. We couldn’t recommend Bukhara more highly to anyone planning an event! -
